Does this tablet need a one service? Can I just use Wi-Fi & still get Pps from the play store?

Yes, you can use it as Wifi only, there's no service requirement. I'd make sure you buy the tablet from a reputable buyer though, otherwise it'll come pre-loaded with adware.

Yes, this tablet uses wi-fi and you can download apps from play store using it's wi-fi as long as you have internet access. (I apologize if that comes off as being arrogant--but not everyone is tech savvy even this day)

I can confirm that it does indeed use the Play store. However, there are some games that are not configured to this device- my daughter was looking for some dress-up princess type games and several of them would download, however, they would crash upon opening once the .apk was installed. The likely culprit is that iRulu has not fully defined the OS with Google etc such that the games will work. I have seen this many times with the second-tier tablets.

Even if a tablet is Locked you may still acquire Verizon Signal from other sellers , like www.LowCostData.com at amuch lower cost. If you send me the #s I'll verify it for free. at raycowireless@gmail.com. We're anew kid onthe block and any help getting the word out is appreciated. RAY

You can use it over Wi-Fi regardless which one you get, but not all are not capable with Verizon 4G or 3G depending on your area. The difference is the hardware. In order to get one that can use wireless service, you should buy one from Verizon despite they are more expensive. Check out Radio Hospital Lima, Ohio and call them. Google it. They just might be able to hook you up with one for $250. They have only 2, but nobody is really looking at them. Tablets don't sell in the area that fast. This is as of 6/24/2013.

The one I have does not have Play Store - I had to purchas all apps from Amazon and it worked fine. The only thing I can say that I didn't like about this tablet is it is a little bit slower than a smart phone or more expensive model, but I still say it's great for the money.

Yes it does. Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to be sure I was giving you the right information from actual users here of the tablet with those services.

Good Morning Jon, We purchased the tablet to be used as a kiosk at our counter. I do believe that you can use the tablet on Verizon's network as well as your local WiFi. I would call you local Verizon store to be sure though. Great tablet, works great for what we need.

No, you do not have to have a carrier for this tablet to work as long as you WiFi from another wireless internet source. But, if you did want coverage everywhere, no need for a contract, just have it added to your current cell phone plan through your provider.

yes it comes loaded with the play store. I really like my tablet, battery life isnt amazing...probably 4-5 hrs on a full charge using it to watch movies and play some games, but for general use its really good

I installed it on my phone, so I have no experience with a tablet. However, I have never had a problem downloading anything from Amazon, so I would probably go that route.

I haven't downloaded anything from Google Play yet, but there is an app already on the tablet to link to it and other reviewers said Google Play is accessible off it.

Options might include: 1. I have not installed custom firmware for this tablet (check slatedroid.com) but it might have Google Market included. 2. Older version of Amazon AppStore used to work. Later one did not. 3. GetJAR website. 4. Download Apks for apps and side-load them.

Well to be completely honest, I do not know everything this here piece of machinery has to offer. But to what I'm seeing I don't believe that there is one. Most likely because it is just a basic tablet. Therefore it probably would be best to check and make sure that your internet is not going to quit on you. But other then that. I'm still loving this thing!!

No, this is the wi-fi only model. Typically provider based tablets are sold directly from the service provider.

It will work as a very small tablet (only 4.3") without subscription. You can connect to wifi for internet/data access. The nice built-in kickstand does make it into a very nice alarm clock or bedside music streaming box and weather station. I would not recommend buying the phone to use as a tablet or even for the things I just listed. But if you are upgrading to a newer and better phone, it might not be a bad idea to keep this phone around as a secondary device.

Nope. Just get one from the mobile provider of your choice as the tab is unlocked. Enjoy. :-)

GetJar is there to download apps, Its kinda sucky, But you can use the Amazon App store to download from assuming you have an Amazon account. It likes to black screen on follow up uses (like after restarting and such) but you can clear the App data or cache and it will work again, Odd I know, But Coby isnt the best Tablet as i have sadly learned. Returned mine within a month.
